LAr sLHC Electronics Meeting________Introduction Mauro Citterio INFN Milano Tuesday,September, 22, 2009
Present Situation (1 of 2) • Towards a “new LAr electronics” • No “readout architecture system integration” working group meetings in the last three months • Bi-weekly phone meetings will restart from next Friday • October 2nd – 15:00 Cern time • Focus: LoI draft preparation until mid October • Inviation to the meeting will be extended to LAr community • Progress has been made in various areas … some will be presented in this or other meetings • Front-end board (SiGe preamp and shaper, CMOS ADC) • HEC preamps + dedicated boards • Optical data Transmission (SOS LOC2 submission) • LVPS System • ROD/back end Tuesday,September, 22, 2009
Present Situation (2 of 2) • Still to be discussed …. and needed for the LoI • Crate board composition (FEB + what other boards?) • Ctlr., Cfg. and Monitoring • Interface to TTC and to other subsystems • HV System (!!!) • Some assumptions are 100% corrects? Example: • What do we gain with an ALL DATA OUT scheme? • Does physics analysis really benefit from that? Tuesday,September, 22, 2009
Few comments ..... (1 of 2) • Front-end electronics and back-end electronics is “naturally” progressing with its own synergy • Various institutions interested • Design and new ideas are under discussion • Some components exists or will exist soon, more tests will be possible • The design of the PS system is integral part of the front-end redesign • Not enough people and interest for this item • Some new people are getting involved • Optical link is crucial • SMU design is progressing well • We are also contacting CERN for the GBT design • A minimal LAr set of specifications is ready and is going to be presented to Philippe Farthoutto verify if a FUTURE generation of GBT could satisfy our needs • We did not explore yet the “commercial world” • Not enough manpower Tuesday,September, 22, 2009
Few Comments …. (2 of 2) • ROD R&D • Significant amount of new ideas are being discussed • Boards/system start to exist • The ideas can be verified on the field • Many people will participate/connect to this system, inside and outside LAr ..... • Radiation tolerant policy • We are forced to “full custom” design of many components • What new radiation levels need to used for qualification • We need a FULL list of the electronics components and to which levels they need to be qualified • In the past some components were accepted knowing that will “malfunction” earlier than other … can/must we do better ? • ELMB was one of them • LVPS were also considered “weak” design spots because a “full box” test was not achievable Tuesday,September, 22, 2009
